Fabulous review of Roberto Fores Veses's season-opening of the ONPL!
"Vibrant energy. The Valencian conductor masterfully brought out all the nuances of a Viennese repertoire that straddles the Classical and Romantic periods. His gestures, both enthusiastic and precise, propelled the orchestra into a performance that was both fiery and refined...Under the baton of Roberto Forés Veses, the ONPL demonstrated remarkable clarity, with each line standing out with pinpoint sharpness...

"Brilliant brass, fiery strings, a hall suspended and then conquered: the ONPL proved it could rival the finest ensembles in this repertoire. This opening concert will thus remain a parenthesis of beauty and tenderness, a small bubble of virtuosity...exceptional...a blend of Viennese heritage and pure emotion." Scherzo

Excellent, Nimrod Borenstein - composer !

Christopher Nolan isn't the only one doing The Odyssey right now! And in my version, our hero is a cello! Coming in March 2027 - the world premiere recording of ODYSSEUS, a musical journey for cello and piano! And just like Nolan, I promise, we won't rely on CGI. Odysseus, the cello version, coming soon on Somm Recordings...

"Exquisite" — great review of Sarah Fox's new Mozart Concert Arias album on Signum Records! Congrats to Sarah, conductor Roberto Fores Veses and the Orquesta Sinfonica de Castilla y Leon!

"As one might expect, Fox's singing is consistently lovely, with the familiar silvery gleam in her upper registers much in evidence, though there's warmth lower in the voice when it's needed. Of the two arias derived from Idomeneo, the high-lying Non più! Tutto ascoltai suits her fractionally better, though the descents below middle C in Ch'io mi scordi di te? are admirably accomplished. Coloratura is expressive and unshowy: the ebb and flow of the elaborate lines of Per quel paterno amplesso, K79, particularly impress...Listen again, and you become increasingly aware of Fox's verbal subtlety. The reiterations of 'Morirò' in Al desio di chi t'adora really bite in her lower registers, and 'Stelle barbare, stelle spietate' in Non più! Tutto ascoltai gradually gains in intensity with each repetition. Nebmt meinen Dank, meanwhile, is exquisite in its unforced simplicity... a fine album, thoughtful and enjoyable in equal measure."
